Felix Dennis has today lost his battle with Cancer. In tribute to an inspirational poet and a true lover of nature, I share my last interview with a man who through tireless planting of trees, has made this world a better place for us all.

Dennis himself is the ultimate dispeller of this baseless myth; he was already one of Britain's richest men when his acclaimed, eloquently observant first book of poems A Glass Half Full was published. This surprisingly successful collection marked the start of an illustrious writing career that like Dennis, left fans wishing he turned to poetry in his twenties instead of his fifties.
